Inchgrundle A pair of white painted cottages near the head of Loch Lee. No signs of life here, so unsure if the place is inhabited. A glorious location between mountain and loch.

Track junction approaching Glenlee cottage The track along the glen divides here, that to the left heading for Inchgrundle, whilst ahead is the empty and deteriorating Glenlee cottage. Some photos taken here in past years show the cottage amongst mature conifers, but these have gone to be replaced by a mix of broadleaf and coniferous trees surrounded by a deer fence. A group of workers were emerging from the site having been 'bracken bashing', an unpleasant job where one is liable to attract ticks. There was also a report of adders in the area, which to me seem a lot more pleasant and interesting than ticks.

Water of Lee near Inchgrundle A loop of the watercourse where one is actually looking upstream. The cottages at Inchgrundle are half hidden in the distance.

Glenlee cottage Abandoned, boarded up, and with some slates missing from the roof, one wonders if this little building is in terminal decline. Previous 'geograph' contributors have shown the building almost surrounded by mature conifers, but these have gone, to be replaced by a mix of both broadleaf [rowan, birch, oak etc] and conifer. Workers who had been bracken bashing inside the fenced off area reported a multitude of ticks [nasty] and a couple of adders [interesting].
